Trade Alert

Washington Wizards and Phoenix Suns agree to a trade which sends Trevor Ariza to Washington and Kelly Oubre/Austin Rivers to Phoenix!

Looks Like Ariza is heading to Washington after all!

Washington ARE SO STUPID.... 23 yr old Kelly Oubre for a 33 yr old Trevor Ariza AND they threw in Rivers looool they're not going anywhere and they just gave up a good young player. No wonder this franchise is such an L

I was just researching NBA history and in 1996 3 Bulls made the first team all defense. How crazy is that man no wonder they won 72

Wanted Ariza on the Lakers man...

Donovan Mitchell.. HOW?

Triple Double for LeBron and Lakers up 30! Love that

Lakers win 128-100! Absolutely amazing performance, Bron and Lonzo both nailed triple doubles. Kemba held to 4 pts on 2/13 shooting. We've figured it out I think

Spurs really just lost to the Bulls...
